Description
This intricate locket, with scenes inside and out, was probably used as a "paternoster," an aid to prayer similar to a rosary. The scenes on the inside are executed in colorful enamel. On the left, Christ is greeted as he enters Jerusalem on a donkey. On the right, the risen Christ invites the "doubting" apostle Thomas to affirm his resurrection by touching his wound. On the exterior are scenes of Christ Shown to the People and a Pietà modeled in brown wax to resemble boxwood and covered with a rock crystal disk.
